(taken from source) Work on the Adrian Street Clearance Area opened up in the bank of a new road along Pilot Meadow, a curious rectangular structure built of chalk and rolled flints, set at the top and faced up in pink mortar, but lower down built with mortar of a brownish colour. When cleared out under the supervision of the Borough Engineer, it was revealed as a pit 37 inches square. It was excavated to a depth of 1 foot below the road trench and then showed 4 feet of walling, but bottom was not reached. The filling included nothing datable, but a piece of Hythe Stone showed signs of fire. Mr. Amos queries was it a Roman burial shaft and perhaps similar to a timber-lined one at Bekesbourne. The pottery and bone was donated to Dover Museum where it is located still.(1-2)
